She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne and Elena arrived at the cafeteria where most employees have their breakfast if they didn't get any at home, or have their lunch as well as their snack time.

Many people greeted Cayenne with smiles and some were also envious of Elena for having such a good opportunity to talk with the lady boss and spend more time with her.

Cayenne looked at the dishes that the staff served and she nodded her head in silent agreement. Not only the prices were cheap but one set of meal was also balanced with the go, grow and glow categories of food. She couldn't help but think of a way to praise her husband.

"Choose whatever you like to eat." Cayenne told Elena who was just walking beside her.

This statement startled the assistant secretary. She didn't know that she'd be eating with the boss. "I actually ate chocolates already."

"I know and it's unhealthy. You should always eat your breakfast. You can skip other meals of the day but not breakfast. It's very important. It helps you function throughout the day."

Elena blinked her eyes while staring at her lady boss who talked like a nutritionist in front of her. If she didn't know what her life was in the past, she'd really think that Cayenne was a doctor. 

"O-okay." Elena didn't have the guts to refuse Cayenne's order specially that she really took the time to come with her to the cafeteria. She ordered one set of meal and a milk drink to go with it. Cayenne also bought a sandwich and juice so that she can eat with the assistant secretary even though she already ate at home.

Don't forget that Cayenne has really large appetite.

Every time someone passes on their table, the employees would really stop on their tracks to greet their lady boss but as much as other people like her, some of the employees don't like her as well.

A lady who was wearing a pencil cut skirt and topped with buttoned up blouse, snorted when she passed by Cayenne's table and she didn't even bother greeting Cayenne when she saw her.

Cayenne didn't care about that though. As long as that person works hard for the company, even if that person doesn't like her, she won't give a dam about him or her.

"She only climbed to the higher ranks with her bed skills. What's so good about that? I wouldn't dare sell my body just to have riches in my hand." The woman muttered as she passed by together with her friends.

"Shh! Shut up! Someone might hear you." Her friend covered the woman's mouth but the former swatted the other lady's hand. She humphed with a proud expression and even raised her chin arrogantly.

Cayenne was supposed to ignore her but hearing the poisonous words coming from the woman's mouth irked her so much. Her temples throb from her rising anger and she wanted to flare up but she chose to smile towards Elena and whispered – though it was a little louder than a whisper, enough for other employees to hear.

"I'm pretty proud of my bed skills. After all, he chose to marry me among all the ladies he frolicked with." Cayenne told Elena and winked at her which made the young lady blush.

"Lady boss, you shouldn't say that. Other people will misunderstand you."

"Even if I don't say it, I'm misunderstood by cats and dogs already and –"

"What did you say?!" The woman heard Cayenne's words clearly because she clearly paid attention to her. Saying that she was a cat or a dog, it enraged her. She wanted to confront Cayenne but the bodyguards immediately blocked her way with their imposing figures. "You dare say I'm a dog?! Then, what are you?!"

Cayenne stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked at the woman from head-to-toe and back to her face. "Ordinary." She commented in disdain. "And besides, I wasn't saying you're a dog? Did I mention a name? And before you shout at me, know your place sweetheart because I can still fire you with one or two words. I don't even know you. Who are you to talk back to me?"

Cayenne sat down once again and continued eating her sandwich as if nothing happened. On the other hand, Stefan's face grew colder as he watched the video that Elena sent him. It wasn't full but even without it, he still knew what's happening because his wife had been carrying the pen that Shein gave her. It was able to capture the details that Elena's recording didn't.

He dialed Chris number and told him to come inside.

"What is the matter?"

"Get this woman out of my company and ban her from any of our trades. I don't want any toxic person like her in my business."

"Got it."

Chris left without any questions to deal with the issue in the cafeteria. Cayenne was still calmly eating her sandwich while whispers and murmurs erupted around them. The woman was still gnashing her teeth angrily but she couldn't approach Cayenne at all.

"Such a coward. Don't hide behind your bodyguards."

"It's exactly because there are people like you that my husband needs to place guards around me. See? I'm so precious to him." Cayenne taunted her again which made Stefan laugh amidst this mess she was in. When angered, she really has a poisonous tongue. "Stop trying to fight with me. I don't really care about you. I don't even know you to begin with."

Cayenne's statement also made Stefan think of other things. Clearly, Cayenne has no personal grudge against his employee but it was his employee who spoke ill against his wife first. 'Hmm? Did I let someone infect my company with flies?' He asked this question to himself while thinking who could've been polluting his employee's ears.

But that hardly matters to him.

Few minutes later, Chris arrived with three security guards and even Erwin was following behind him with worried expression.

"Young miss, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Erwin asked while turning around Cayenne to see if she was hurt even just a little scratch.

"I'm not hurt. Do you think someone could hurt me in his territory?" Cayenne retorted and stood up. "Anyway, we're done eating here so, we're going back first." She turned towards Chris and smiled meaningfully before her face turned cold. "Deal with her. Annoying flies should be swatted before they multiply."

"Yes, ma'am." Chris bowed his head and smiled. When Cayenne left along with her bodyguard and Elena, Chris was back to his cold countenance. "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! You could have annoyed anyone but her. Why did you even mess with his wife? Even if she won't tell the CEO, the CEO has a lot of ways to know. Sigh. I don't understand what's the benefit of doing this to yourself." Chris turned his back with his hands behind him. "Anyway, go to the finance department to settle your last pay."

The cafeteria sank into a deafening silence and everyone was stunned. They never thought that things would escalate so fast. They didn't even see their lady boss make a call or inform her husband but he already knows what has happened to his wife.

In truth, it wasn't just that single nameless woman who was doubting Stefan and Cayenne's relationship. Many employees still thought that the two of them were just playing around or that she was paid to pretend his girlfriend to avoid getting married out of convenience.

But this time, their doubts were finally cleared. Stefan wasn't just fooling around. Even though there was no proof that they're really married, the employees already believed them. At the end of the day, who would fire an excellent employee just because she annoyed a fake girlfriend? No one. If things were fake, Stefan should choose business over personal emotions.

"If I were you, you can choose to mess with the boss - he can tolerate that. But don't mess with his wife because she's his life." Chris reminded everyone through the GC that the employees have created. He's been in that GC for a long time and has read so many gossips and whatnot but Stefan didn't care about those as long as they were working efficiently.

But now, the group chat was constantly monitored in case they'd talk about Cayenne in a bad way.

Cayenne was nonchalant about what happened. She was still talking happily with Elena as they walked back to Stefan's office. "In the future, you cannot skip breakfast anymore. And make sure to carefully observe how Chris works and the things that he does for Stefan."

"Why are you telling me these? It feels like sir Chris is leaving." Elena commented and when these words came out of her mouth, her eyes widened in shock. "No way! Am I so annoying that he's going to leave now?"

Cayenne didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this question coming from her. Where did she even get the idea that she was so annoying? Cayenne couldn't stop herself from smiling while patting Elena's head gently. "Don't be silly. Who said you're annoying and I will kick them out of this planet?"

Elena covered her mouth and also laughed at Cayenne's statement. "You're like my elder sister lady boss. But let's not stray out of the topic. Is sir Chris really leaving?"
